Spring planters in the city

Time for the Spring edition of the sidewalk planters! I feel like all I talk about these days is flowers, but I can't resist -- these are gorgeous. We may not have huge yards with green grass everywhere in the city, but I do love watching the changing planters. And Spring of course, is one of the most exciting. Yay for tulips and bright colors after the long, gray winter. Funny to notice "trends" in planting too, definitely a lot of branches and pussy willows incorporated this year.

Really love this combination in front of the Omni Hotel.

You can't go wrong with tulips...

Oh, Hydrangeas... Don't you just love the blue??

One of my favorites. The blue, the orange, the willows, the ivy. Love it

The Trump just won't be outdone...my love affair continues.

Classy little number over at the James Hotel

And we'll finish with a massive collection off of Michigan Avenue. The foxgloves in here look awesome!

Aren't these great? Gives us city dwellers a little reason to stop and smell the flowers.
